PublishPipelineArtifact@0 fails with "API resource location not registered"

We are using Azure DevOps Server 2019.1.1 with current agent version: '2.153.1'

I'm trying to build a staged build/test/publish yaml. After the build I'd like to publish the artifact to the pipeline, because testing has special requirements and should/could be run on a dedicated agent.

The task inside that stage/job:

      - task: PublishPipelineArtifact@0
        inputs:
          artifactName: ReadyBuilt
          targetPath: $(OutputDirectory)

(Sidenote: I can't use PublishPipelineArtifact@1 from the online documentation, as our version is on premise and doesn't support it yet.)

It results in packing but fails on publishing.

The PublishPipelineArtifacts is not supported on Azure Devop 2019 Update 1.1. Only in the cloud service. You can use what @shamrai-aleksander proposed.

I have the same issue and I`ve added a new ticket to the developers community: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/937338/publishpipelineartifact-fails-with-message-api-res.html.

As workaround. You can use PublishBuildArtifacts task with CopyFiles task.

The example for .net:

- task: CopyFiles@2
  inputs:
    SourceFolder: '$(build.sourcesdirectory)'
    Contents: '**\bin\$(BuildConfiguration)\**'
    TargetFolder: '$(build.artifactstagingdirectory)'

- task: PublishBuildArtifacts@1
  inputs:
     publishLocation: Container
